IX. A proposal from Bob Cicherillo that athletes with a signed contract 8 weeks from the date of competition will receive a US $1,000 fee on cancellation of the competition any time prior to the original date set.

[Modification: Athletes with a signed contract 6 weeks from the date of the competition will split the sanction money on deposit at the time of the cancellation upon the cancellation of the competition any time prior to original date set.]

ADOPTED with modification

Translation:

In future no IFBB Pro bodybuilder will be contracted to compete in a pro show any further out than 4 weeks from the show in order that promoters can still cancel shows without notice.

the fines and penalties are still ridiculous and outrageous. I guess bodybuilding is only for the wealthy now. WHo can afford to loss 1000 dollars here 400 dollars there. Sounds like they are running a bank rather than an organization for hard working and financially strapped athletes.

When in doubt rip off the middle class.

ANd if Betty Periso had the forethought not to use the word "desired" she might have had a chance. You would think people in these positions would no the importance of symantecs and the benefit of running by your proposals with a public relations expert.

Who can afford it? Someone that can afford to get their paperwork in late...

It's a damn shame not reinstate Lee Priest. The guy has paid his dues under that suspension. It's not coherent to reinstate WBFers and keep on punishing Priest.IFBB is the crookest sports organization of them all. Probably even more corrupt than IOC. I mean, to have a guy like Paul Chua dealing the cards in a top position at the federation, at the same time all these accusations against him are floating on the air speaks volumes about how business is conducted amongst them. The minimum the IFBB council could do is to drop Chua temporarily from his position to investigate and clear the air about his wrongdoings accusations. It's a police case, authorities should handle the situation.

Until when are we going to keep watching the IFBB hammer being dropped over the heads of the likes of Milos, Priest and such, while not even the lightest accusation of contest fixing in Asia keeps non-checked??

Power, Corruption and Lies.........as always.

It's a damn shame that Lee didn't take the reinstatment when it was offered to him...

"He who hesitates is lost"

It was offered to him knowing full well he had already signed a contract to compete in the NOC in September. I guess Bob only has a problem with Athletes breaking show contracts if they're IFBB shows, huh?

One of the dumbest things i've seen from you....

Why on Gods green earth would the IFBB give a shit about a contract he had with a RIVAL federation....the very one he's being suspended for being a part of in the first place?

Were they supposed to give consideration for this??

Quit while you're ahead...you're making a fool of yourself

They knew Lee would want to honor the commitment he had made to Wayne to do the September show, so they purposely made the offer early knowing full well he couldn't take it at that time. He was suspended for 12 months. Why say to him, "come back at 10 months, or you can't come back in 12 months when your suspension is over"?

why should the IFBB give a fuck about what Lee's commitments were, goatboy?

and since when did lee get a reputation for doing the honorable thing? doing the interesting thing, perhaps . . .

I'm saying, their timing was on purpose to paint him into a corner. He was suspended for 12 months. Why ask him to come back early or don't come back at all? The issue should not have come up until the 12 months had run, unless there were ulterior motives.

of course there were ulterior motives . . . are you turning into a flower child suddenly? why would they not try to steal the PDI's main attraction? it's the sensible thing to do.

THe offer was made because LEE (alledgedly) wanted to come back....HE was the one who made overtures to come back knowing full well he had commitments to the other fed.....then turned it down.
